Reporters and media outlets in Croatia will protest in Zagreb on Saturday about the number of lawsuits filed against them – including by the national broadcaster – which they say is undermining their freedom.

In the latest in the Last Despatches series about journalists and media workers killed during and after the break-up of Yugoslavia, BIRN examines the 2001 murder of reporter Milan Pantic, whose killing was allegedly linked to high-level crime.

Amid a growing trend towards historical revisionism in the country, Croatian television and newspapers offer airtime and space to right-wingers who downplay the crimes committed by the World War II fascist Ustasa regime.
